Boards Magazine (UK) Slalom Test Spring 06
OUR FAVOURITES
Testing slalom boards is a tricky business. We got quite a bit of racing and testing done on them but there are so many possible variables of set-up and conditions that our conclusions are a snapshot view. It is certain that with different sailors and different winds over different courses the picture would change. We can only report what we found but we certainly came home knowing which boards we would want for which conditions
Two boards_ stood out as deserving top recommendations. Actually it was three, since one of the boards we liked so much was represented in two sizes. That was the Starboard iSonic which was tested here in 68 and 75cm widths (115 and 125). We tested it in two sizes so as to be able to draw concrete conclusions about different widths without risking that the differences were more down to other design changes. We chose the iSonic_since it had fared so well in the 105L size earlier in the year. Being archetypal new style 'short slaloms, the iSonics have the excellent 'speed strip' style top speed that you would expect but they match it with slightly better control and easier gybing than the other short slaloms. Equally importantly, they are sold with two fins, both of which are well matched to the board's potential use and of well above average quality. Being well-priced and available in two constructions just adds to their appeal.
